Christian Quotes On Bible

I admonish every pious Christian that he take not offense at the plain, unvarnished manner of speech of the Bible. Let him reflect that what may seem trivial and vulgar to him, emanates from the high majesty, power and wisdom of God. The Bible is the book that makes fools of the wise of this world; it is understood of the plain and simple-hearted. Martin Luther Biography and Information Those who are readiest to trust God without other evidence than His Word always receive the greatest number of visible evidences of His love. Charles C. G. Trumbull No man is uneducated who knows the Bible, and no one is wise who is ignorant of its teachings . Samuel Chadwick Biography I went to hear Mr. Moody with no other idea than to have something to laugh at. I knew he was no scholar, and I felt sure I could find many flaws in his argument. But I found I could not get at the man. He stood there hiding behind the Bible and just fired one Bible text after another at me till they went home to my heart straight as bullets from a rifle. I tell you, Moody's power is in the way he has his Bible at the tip of his tongue. Anonymous Convert We count the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy. I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatsoever! Isaac Newton Biography Only one thing validates a message or a messenger: The whole counsel of the word of God. Kay Arthur Precept Ministries International When the Word dwells as a familiar friend in the heart to direct, counsel and comfort us, then it is a sign it abides there. The devil knows good and hates it, therefore knowledge alone is nothing; but when the promise alters the temper of the heart itself, then it is engrafted there. Richard Sibbes Brief Biography and Article In darkness God's truth shines most clear. Corrie Ten Boom Corrie Ten Boom Museum A chasm is opening between the men who believe their Bibles and the men who are prepared for an advance upon Scripture. Inspiration and speculation cannot long abide in peace. Compromise there can be none. We cannot hold the inspiration of the Word, and yet reject it; we cannot believe in the atonement and deny it; we cannot hold the doctrine of the fall and yet talk of the evolution of spiritual life from human nature; we cannot recognize the punishment of the impenitent and yet indulge the "larger hope." One way or the other we must go. Decision is the virtue of the hour. Charles Haddon Spurgeon The Spurgeon Archive When you take the claw off the claw hammer to make it lighter, you defeat the purpose of the claw hammer. When you file the teeth off a ripsaw so no one will get cut, the ripsaw no longer works. So proper tools can be rendered useless by "improvements". God's Holy Word is the proper tool for Christians. But a person can grossly misuse the Tool by "improving" it. For instance, you can remove all references to gender so that every character in Scripture -- including God Himself -- is referred to as "it". You can twist its meaning around to make the Word sympathetic to your new age lifestyle. Or you can use Scripture as the tool God intended -- an infallible, Divinely-inspired instruction manual for Christians. Ed Price The Loving Heart One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed. Leonard Ravenhill Archives and Articles To preach the Bible as 'the handbook for life,' or as the answer to every question, rather than as the revelation of Christ, is to turn the Bible into an entirely different book. This is how the Pharisees approached Scripture, as we can see clearly from the questions they asked Jesus. For the Pharisees, the Scriptures were a source of trivia for life's dilemmas. To be sure, Scripture provides God-centred and divinely revealed wisdom for life, but if this were its primary objective, Christianity would be a religion of self-improvement by following examples and exhortations, not a religion of the Cross Michael Horton Our Christian experience must agree with the Bible. We will be taught by the Bible and fed by the Bible. But we do not believe in Christ because He is in the Bible: we believe in the Bible because Christ is in us. Claxton Monro Don't worry about what you do not understand... Worry about what you do understand in the Bible but do not live by. Corrie Ten Boom Corrie Ten Boom Museum God's Word is pure and sure, in spite of the devil, in spite of your fear, in spite of everything. (Reuben Archer) R. A. Torrey Biography and Works If we are not interested in the Word of God, can we really be interested in God? Robert Godfrey Online Article The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its Author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure, all sincere; nothing too much; nothing wanting! Locke God's word is- 1. Supernatural in origin; 2. Eternal in duration; 3. Inexpressible in valour; 4. Infinite in scope; 5. Regenerative in power; 6. Infallible in authority; 7. Universal in application; 8. Inspired in totality. Read it through, write it down; pray it in; work it out; pass it on. The word of God changes a man until he becomes an Epistle of God. Smith Wigglesworth Biography When God saw that many men were lazy, and gave themselves only with difficulty to spiritual reading, He wished to make it easy for them, and added the melody to the words, that all being rejoiced by the charm of the music, should sing hymns to Him with gladness. John Chrysostom Biography Isn't is amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it? R. C. Sproul Ligonier Ministries Dusty Bibles always lead to dirty lives. In fact, you are either in the Word and the Word is conforming you to the image of Jesus Christ, or you are in the world and the world is squeezing you into its mould. Howard G. Hendricks Brief Biography This book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the travelers map, the pilgrims staff, the pilots compass, the soldiers sword, and the Christians character. Here paradise is restored, Heaven opened, and the gates of hell disclosed. Christ is its grand object, our good is its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. It is given you in life and will be opened in the judgement and will be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labour, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents. Anonymous Who decides what is right and wrong In the world? Who has the authority to define morality for all of creation? It is not the courts, congress, the media, public opinion, the "politically correct" police, the "tolerance" brigade or even the church. The only answer has been, is and always will be Jesus Christ. You can find His opinion on a great variety of subjects in His best seller... The Bible. Jeffrey E. Ramey For some years now I have read through the Bible twice every year. If you picture the Bible to be a mighty tree and every word a little branch, I have shaken every one of these branches because I wanted to know what it was and what it meant. Martin Luther Biography and Information I call the New Testament the Book of Joy. There is nowhere in the world another book that is pervaded with such a spirit of exhilaration. Henry Ward Beecher Archives Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years. Charles Haddon Spurgeon The Spurgeon Archive The richness of God's Word ought to determine our prayer, not the poverty of our heart. Dietrich Bonhoeffer Bonhoeffer Home Page The whole point of the Bible is to join faith with obedience; mere mental assent is not true biblical faith because Bible saith always results in action. This inconsistency between understanding and obedience is the bane of the contemporary Western church. Ron Lewis Read whatever chapter of scripture you will, and be ever so delighted with it - yet it will leave you as poor, as empty and unchanged as it found you unless it has turned you wholly and solely to the Spirit of God, and brought you into full union with and dependence upon him.
